Varicoceles are veins located in the scrotum. When the veins malfunction, it may lead to painful discomfort and infertility. Interventional radiology provides a non-invasive, more cost-effective alternative to traditional surgery. The procedure involves inserting a small catheter near the site of the affected area and introducing clotting agents (embolization) that effectively shut the flow of blood through the abnormal veins. Patients can expect better blood flow, improvement in their fertility, and a complete recovery within just one or two days.
